A Multiscale Design Methodology for Hierarchical Systems With Random Field Uncertainty
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2010)A multiscale design methodology is proposed for hierarchical material and product systems with random field uncertainty that propagates across multiple length scales. Using the generalized hierarchical ... -
Integrated Design and Optimization of Gas Bearing Supported Rotors
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2010)The design of direct driven turbomachinery is an interdisciplinary task. Standard design procedures propose to split such systems into subcomponents and to design each one individually. This ... -
Mobility of Single-Loop Kinematic Mechanisms Under Differential Displacement
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2010)Linear analysis of motion screws is a means for determining the mobility of a mechanism composed of the parallel combination of serial kinematic chains. Such a mechanism may have one or more ... -
Passive Aerodynamic Drag Balancing in a Flapping-Wing Robotic Insect
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2010)Flapping-wing robotic platforms based on Dipteran insects have demonstrated lift to weight ratios greater than 1, but research into regulating the aerodynamic forces produced by their wings has ... -
Metamodeling for High Dimensional Simulation-Based Design Problems
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2010)Computational tools such as finite element analysis and simulation are widely used in engineering, but they are mostly used for design analysis and validation. If these tools can be integrated ... -
